There is little doubt that the surplus
of the wheat crop of the United States
will be required for export this year.
Iaklng the report of the Department
at Washington as a basis for calcula-
ton, the available export supply for
the fiscal year is about $4,000. 900
bushels. OF this, 100000 bushels
have already gone forward, leaving 49,
100000 bushels available for export be-
tween now and June 80, 1888. As the
India crop appears to be about all need
ed for home consumption there will be
a call for all that the United States can
well spare, unless spectators run the
prices up to where other cereals will
take the place of wheat in furnishing
the European bread supply.

COMMERCIAL FACILITIES.

brought forth compound engines that
by utilizing the steam twice will trans
port a ton of merchandise one mile

This triumph of the nineteenth CEN

whether workers in the mines or tillers

The great trunk railroad lines start

Paul and Minneapolis or on to the
Black Hills or Denver, will swing
around to avail themselves into Duluth
to avail themselves of the low rates.
New lines are in contemplation until
the number multiplies to eleven soon
to center there. Already some of the
above roads have ordered steam trans
ports built to run to Buffalo, one steam
er day for their own service.
Twelve steamers for each great rail-
road company would make one a day

THE ZENITH CITY OF THE UNsALT-
ED SEAS"

The ZENITH CITY OF THE UNSALT-
ED SEAS"
from its eminence continues to attract
the attention of the commercial world
to the fartherest city West on the farth-
crest lake West where a changed con-
dition of shipping may be had from
rail to water on the new route to New
York, Boston and the seabord; made
necessary by the Interstate railroad
bill, which advanced the rate of freight
very materially by rail but not by
water.
The scheme of water and rail trans
portatiOn by this new line was very
materially advanced by Congress pass
ing acts to improve and double the ca
pacity of the existing canal at the Sault
Ste Marie straights leading into the
lower lakes eastward, and the act grant
ing the right to construct a railroad
bridge across the straights into Canada
and thence to Boston and New York
by rail, skipping the high rates of the
new law on the central, east and west
trunk lines Of railway.
The Duluth South Shore and Allan.
tic railroad, ran its first train on the
10th inst, to the bridge crossing; and
is ready now to take up business as
soon as navigation closes to pour the
treasures of the prairies into the line of
eastern transportation, Canadian roads
assisting, making, an increasing stream
winter and summer, to be augmented
by other lines in the near future.
The prophetic vision of Jay Cooke.
of Philadelphia, the great fnancier and
bond floater of the war time, conceived
the plan of a great national railway
across the northern belt of our country
connecting the Great Lakes with Cali
fornia and the Pacific coast, fOresaw a
great city growing up out of small
town at the head of Lake Superior
which he named Duluth. Time is YER
rifying the wisdom of that enterprise
which lacked the means to complete it.
but Mr.. Cooke is on the ground, and
what was left after his creditors were
paid, has so enhanced in value that it
has made him as wealthy again as ever.

MINERAL WEALTH.

Wisdom is justified of her children,
all men who have made investments in
the northwest since the war and have
stuck by them have been wise, and en-
JOY prosperity. 1t has been said that
some cities are doomed to death. but
none can be found where the foxes and
the owls are the only inhabitants: all
are growing and increasing in popula-
ton, commerce and wealth. MANY
cities have been sustained by the album
dance of one leading commodity.
and it would not be strange if
that commodity was gold, but, Pitts
burg has won independence, wealth
and position out of iron, and now she
is known by the name of Iron Citv."
Quality as well as quantity is an i'm
portant factor in an iron find. So at
Duluth in the Vermillion mines is to be
found ore yielding sixty per cent. of
the best Bessamer steel pig, and in fact
it has long been known and acknowl-
edged that the iron ores of the copper
region are the most valuable of the list.
Hitherto they had to be carried to the
furnace to the cities of the lower Lakes,
but now the furnaces are by associated
capital being built at Duluth of a
size and capacity not to be excelled in
the world.
There are millions in the iron and
copper interest of that region, and as
if that was not enough silver has been
found in paying quantities and will be
developed, so that the fact is, we are
but on the threshold of the untold
mineral wealth of the Lake Superior
region.
This recent development was not
embrassed in the scope of Mr.. Cookies
vision who only saw the interminable
acreage of pine timber stretched out to
the Canada line, and to the southwest
the broad and expansive prairie cover
ed with fields of golden grain, the sheep
and cattle ola thousand hills, with all
else that could be utilized for the COM
Portable sojOurn wealth and happiness
of man.
AS shipping port the day is not far
distant when Duluth will be second to
none. This is apparent from the econ
omy of the cost Of transportation from
Philadelphia and Wilmington to
Duluth which is only twenty-three
cents per hundred pounds for heavy
merchandise very low for so long dis
lance, a rate that inland cities can
never enjoy.
